After a sharp interest rate hike by the ECB, traders are waiting for further actions from the US Fed. However, the FOMC meeting will take place only next week. Thus, the US inflation report is the only event that may affect investors' sentiment and force the market to move. Until then, the currencies are likely to hover near the current levels, whereas the euro will hardly exceed 1.01.

Last week, the euro managed to increase against the US dollar. As a result, the quote jumped above the 2-week range of 0.9900/1.0050
